A recent trip to the Lake District saw plentiful scenes of various grasses some of which showed off their delicate nature.

I found these tiny fern leaves only 1-2 inches long, backlit against the sun. On closer examination I saw the leaves had what I thought were spots on them. But looking still harder I was amazed to see that some neat little insect has laid minute clusters of eggs under each notch in the leaf. At least that's what I presume they are. Did one insect do this? How did it know to lay them in such a precise pattern? Or is it something else, part of the fern? HMM

I’m pretty sure it’s the egg of a Northern Cardinal. Or maybe a Carolina wren.

A beautiful dragonfly with lace wings ...The theme of the week, "Patterns in Nature", HMM!

During a walk to Llyn Bochlwyd, light caught the peak of Y Garn above Cwm Idwal.

My 100X project for 2017, Patterns in Nature. I like how this collage shows the colors changing with the seasons.

A walk along Penmon Point - the tide created shallow rippling waves which I liked. Always a nice place to visit. I also like the moody atmosphere.

Patterns in the sand where a shallow stream flows across Clam Harbour Beach.

Shells have beautiful patterns. Here's a flower for Macro Mondays

Another kind of ice flower. Does anyone else see a large flower in there? These patterns formed as the lake began to thaw. We went from a week of frigid weather to a spring-like day yesterday.

For Macro Mondays theme 'Redux 2019', a re-visit of the theme 'Pastel' but would also be suitable for 'Patterns in Nature'. The tiny juvenile snail was shot on a leaf from my conservatory plant Phormium 'Jester', using my Raynox DCR-250.

 

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

An early morning in Nant Francon, Snowdonia saw a layer of mist floating over the peaks.

Macro Mondays - Patterns in Nature

GROUP: MACRO MONDAYS

THEME: PATTERNS IN NATURE

SUBJECT: MINI CACTUS

 

FYI … This is the miniature kind. This is probably about an inch and a half at it's widest or less and not even 2 inches tall.

Autumn provides us with colour and shapes. I found this leaf resting on a fern and I liked the colour contrast in soft light.

During a recent visit, the Lake District National Park offered pleasing displays of Autumn's colours - all very beautiful to see and the reflections brought about by still waters were particularly lovely.

It’s officially Autumn when the pumpkins show up at the grocery stores :)

Another invasive species that dominates our plant life in Louisiana. As pretty as it might be, it grows everywhere and will choke out other native plants. It is Louisiana's only climbing fern and grows much like a vine as high as 90 ft.

These ice crystals have been forming on the grass overnight. My new obsession!

The light and stillness of Llyn Gwynant allowed for these reflections to be taken.

One very unique pattern in nature in this tree's bark, complete with pareidolia.

 

I was expecting to capture a fairly generic picture of bark on one ot the trees just outside my work building, until I found this trunk, well, looking at me. Not very well camouflaged within the pattern was this area where the bark peeled off, looking very much like a fish or, at least, a tadpole. I have no idea how long this pattern will last, but it will at least provide some amusement for a while.

Posted for the "Crazy Tuesday" theme of 8/26/2025: PATTERNS IN NATURE.

for Macro Mondays, Patterns in Nature. Beetle smaller than my little finger nail. And there's a much small er one on the flower he's heading for.

This isn’t my usual persimmon tree (the one I have photographed over & over again). A different one nearby.
